Theme: AI for a better society

In the last years, research on Artificial Intelligence has made both
academia and industry to take a more active role in engaging with the
general public. The immense success of recent results appears almost
endless, but they are not without faults or concerns. Addressing the role
these technologies can have in human society is therefore important. The
14th Scandinavian Conference on AI (SCAI’24) invites researchers and
industry practitioners working on all facets of AI to submit their
research. Organised as a joint venture by the Swedish AI Society (SAIS) and
Norwegian AI Society (NAIS), the event invites researchers from all over
the world to participate in ongoing discussions.

Venue
The event will take place June 10-11, 2024, in the picturesque, yet modern
Swedish city of Jönköping. It is a middle-sized city beautifully tucked in
between deep Swedish forests, mirror-clear lakes and flowing hills. Join us
over a “*kanelbulle* “(cinnamon roll) to discuss the latest in AI research
and network in the social program while overlooking the sun set over the
crystal-clear water of Vättern (Sweden’s second-largest lake). Making the
best of the beautiful scenery, the conference dinner will take place at the
medieval-style inn "Gyllene Uttern" (The Golden Otter) that offers a unique
perspective of the sun setting over Vättern.
Confirmed Keynote Speakers

In addition to the scientific and social program, SCAI has already three
confirmed keynote speakers all capturing different aspects of the
conference theme: AI for a better society. We are proud to have Virginia
Dignum, Professor of Computer Science at Umeå University, Timo Minssen,
Director at JUR Centre for Advanced Studies in Biomedical Innovation Law,
and Patrik Jägenstedt, Director Advanced Development, Robotics & AI Lab at
Husqvarna, joining SCAI as invited speakers! A later announcement will
provide more details on their talks.

Topics of Interest and Paper Formats

Contributions are welcome from all areas of Artificial Intelligence, and
topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

   - AI applications
   - AI ethics and regulations
   - Knowledge representation
   - Hybrid and neurosymbolic AI
   - Machine learning methods and applications
   - Case studies of AI in the public sector and industry
   - Complex systems and swarm intelligence
   - Cognitive robotics and intelligent agents
   - Human-computer interaction with an AI-focus
   - Planning and Scheduling
   - Natural Language Processing
   - Computer Vision
   - Search Algorithms
   - Multi-Agent-Systems
   - Conformal Prediction and Uncertainty Quantification

For the scientific program of the conference, we invite four types (with
corresponding submissions) of contributions to SCAI 2024, from all areas of
AI research:

   - 6-10 pages full paper describing original contributions (not under
   review at another venue). General descriptions of current and ongoing
   projects are also acceptable. This category will be published in SCAI 2024
   proceedings unless the authors opt-out. Please note that full papers in the
   proceedings are approved as a scientific publication channel at level 1 in
   Norway.
   - 2 pages extended abstracts of previously published papers in e.g., AI
   journals and AI conferences, within the last 12 months. The two pages
   should include everything, e.g., references, figures, etc. These will not
   be included in the proceedings, only presented at the conference.
   - 2 pages extended abstract describing AI industrial application,
   demonstrating use cases that leverage machine learning and AI techniques in
   a real-world setting. The two pages should include everything, including
   references, figures, etc. The first author should be from industry. These
   will not be included in the proceedings, only presented at the conference.
   - 2 pages extended abstract describing ongoing Ph.D. projects (the first
   author must be a Ph.D. student). Problem statements and research question/s
   must be clearly introduced and motivated. The two pages should include
   everything, e.g., references, figures, etc. These will not be included in
   the proceedings, only presented at the conference.

All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the conference program committee
and accepted contributions will be presented as oral presentations,
practical demonstrations or poster sessions. Accepted full papers will be
published in the electronic workshop proceedings (Linköping University
Electronic Press). All submissions must be written in English using the
IEEE Latex template available
<https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/preparation-of-papers-for-ieee-sponsored-conferences-and-symposia/zfnqfzzzxghk>

Note that at least one author need to register and participate on-site
during the conference.
